There is a high prevalence of thalassemia in the Taiwan area. Prenatal diagnosis of severe forms of thalassemia is important for the prevention of this disease. We performed prenatal diagnosis in 167 cases, of which 59 cases were diagnosed by chorionic villi biopsy, 91 cases by amniotic fluid analys

The strategy for early prenatal diagnosis of [3thalassemia in Singapore by direct detection of the mutant 13-globin gene requires the spectrum of mutations producing the disorder in this population to be characterized. We analyzed 134 13-thalassemia alleles from Singapore by specific oligonucleotide
## Abstract Ξ²βThalassemia is the most common genetic disorder in the Lebanese population. Of the 200 different mutations in the Ξ²βglobin gene that leads to thalassemia, the IVSIβ110 (29.87%), IVSIβ6 (20.74%), IVSIβ1 (14.07%), IVSIIβ1 (9.13%), Cd29 (9.13%), and Cd30 (3.95%) mutations are the most fr
Methods and strategies are described for the prenatal diagnosis of three common congenital disorders--alpha and beta thalassemias and hemophilia A. It is important to study the frequency of restriction fragment length polymorphisms and types of molecular defects in specific ethnic groups, since they
